The Springbok squad for the upcoming Rugby Championship has been named.
A large group, comprising 49 players, has been selected to take the Boks through the 5-game program ahead of this year’s World Cup in England. A match against a World XV at Newlands is the first challenge, followed by a shortened Rugby championship and an away match against Argentina.
36 healthy players have been selected, with 13 others making up a rehabilitation squad, with those in it in various stages of recovery from injury. Eight uncapped players, Scarra Ntubeni, Steven Kitshoff, Vincent Koch, Rudy Paige, Faf de Klerk, Jesse Kriel, Franco Mostert and Lionel Mapoe, have been included, while previously discarded players such as Frans Steyn and Heinrich Brüssow are also back in the mix, albeit via the rehab squad.

Went through the list three times and I can’t see Pierre Spies’s name. Surely can’t be true….
@Bite me (Comment 1) : Seeing as he’s leaving the Bulls, HM has no more feelings of loyalty toward him.
So this is the extended squad, that will be trimmed down to resemble the team that was thoroughly outplayed by Ireland and Wales
Im actually quite happy with selection and inclusion of some fringe players that should be considered. …worried about Jacque Fourie and FdPreez’ s form though!
@Sharkfinn (Comment 4) : Don’t worry, they’ll gain form come the end-of-year tour
Meh

Mmmm Kirchner and Matfield. …Big Vic can add value as an impact player I suppose…..Ruan? Should know the conditions well but has he lost his “edge”?

im glad they finally realised spies is not as good as the rest of the loosies we have.
Are those the only decent locks we have.either old and over the hill (matfield), or young and injured, congrats to mostert for making it, he deserves it.
If everyone is fit we do have some good lock options but losing flip was a big thing

@vanmartin (Comment 66) : Reality is this season he just is not good enough. Played largely as a wing and he is not going to be replacing habanna or pieterson or even mvovo. At scrumhalf even faf has been superior so hes at least 4th. I think at sharksworld where hes noy treated as a god weve all accepted this

The case with Hougaard is although he scored the most tries for the Bulls, who will you drop him for? Same with Jaco Kriel.

@Blue Centurion (Comment 71) : To be honest, I thought Hougaard at 14 did a damn sight better than JPP at 13… I would select Hougie at wing ahead of Cornal Hendricks any day; equally effective at finishing, but way more tenacious on defence, and effective at competing for the ball on the ground in the wide channels

Error: Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2019/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Jaco Kriel should move to 9. I’m pretty sure he’d be selected then because of his size.

@benji (Comment 79) : NOT
@JD (Comment 57) : I agree yes he didnt have a ”bad” super rugby season, infact i was reasonably impressed in a few games by both Marco at 5 and Botha at 4
however: You after a few games on the bounce you could see that these older states man,though decent guys and hard working professional are not our long term future, and okes like lewies, psdt (if he stays), Giant (from a super rugby perspective, though we should look to make him a full time shark), Askle (young but promising given time to develop), E oosthuisen (way better at 4 and at blind side) and H andrew (very young buy could be a great 5) are the future and the two older players were just stop gaps because of injuries suspensions
not that i ddnt value their contribution, and you could see tht the idea at the start of the season was to strike a balance between youth and experience, thts why psdt start wit M botha at first, marco wasnt even in the team
its sad that we either have old guys with good attitudes or the best hooker in the world whose a constint red card threat
hopefully thats all changing

squads always cause some interest but in reality some will never get to play. So keen to see how he will reduce this down to a WC squad and match day squad for upcoming games. The RWC is not going to be won playing free flowing running rugby…sorry to disappoint. We need a forward pack to get us over the advantage line, inside backs to create space and wingers that are able to finish with not much room.

11players from Jakes’s team,how many Kiwi’s,Aussies and Poms are there from 8 years ago.
Even the Irish have got over Brian o Driscoll.
Habbanna,deVilliers, Mattfield, Pienaar,Fourie, Fourie du Preez, Burger,are all way past it.
Bismark,Jannie,J.PP and Frans still have a claim,because we have not developed anyone better in those positions.

And now FDP crocked too….4 to 8 weeks…..
Heyneke should forget the geriatrics, they could not do it in 2011. How on earth they going to do it now 4 years later, after retiring, taking off a few years in Japan , catastrophic injuries etc? Crazy man…
I would leave JDV, Matfield, FDP , JF , M Steyn , out the squad….they are done.
@The hound (Comment 93) : I can understand why HM has gone with those guys. They are classy players but even more so they have shown composure under pressure. I think he was concerned that discarding all and picking youth would result in him having a team that if ontop would win easy but in a tight game may crumble. And the Boks have always had that 1 bad game every RWC…i think he hopes the experience will get him through that game. Will the Boks win it…hmm i have my doubts based on the form of guys and our game plan.

Morne is not a bad call,but on the bench.,but I don’t think he will go it will be Pollard,Lambie and Jantjies.
Now if Meyer had a little foresight and had picked Rory Kockert,we would have had another kicking option and Morne’s name wouldn’t have even been there.But we are incredibly poor in the kicking department,with absolutely no options but the flyhalves
.Not one kicking fullback,scrum half or wing.

@Ben (Comment 105) : He can’t he already has aFrench test cap.
I am saying that we have to pick a flyhalf that can kick first and foremost,unlike in other years when you could pick Butch because Percy could kick,or Lem because Jubba could kick.
Kockett is a very accurate kicker,that takes major pressure off the flyhalf.

@Orlok Tsubodai (Comment 119) : Yup hen lies too deep depends on the ex bulls brand of crashball forwards game way too much. Fast loose forward game with quick distribution and getting his guys over the gain is beyond him. Lambie Pollard and Goosen much better suited to that.

Is it just me or am I daft? I don’t get it? Everybody is going off about the franchises being at fault for the Bok injury crisis for not resting players according to agreements…but if I go through the list of injured players above, almost no one qualifies for that criticism! Duane was rested repeatedly and so was everyone else on that listed. Pat was rested one game late, if I am not mistaken…but then got injured in a way (neck injury in the tackle) that had nothing to do with rest or not. Most of these guys got injured so early on in the season and were injured so long/much that they hardly even played 5 games all season. The criticism of the franchises seems to me to be just a bit unreasonable…or am I missing something?

@pastorshark (Comment 130) : it’s the Brenden Nel agenda. Basically he’s one of a number of horrific blue journalists who are so far up Heyneke’s ass that all they can smell is his breath.

@robdylan (Comment 131) : Yeah, not much objectivity or concern for facts there…at least, as far as I can see!
